Did anyone read "Ulysses" by James Joyce?
It (very) loosely follows the episodes of Ulysses from the Odyssey of Homer
though in a reordered form,
with Stephen Dedalus representing Telemachus,
Leopold Bloom Ulysses and Molly Bloom Penelope.
The central characters explore various sites and happenings around Dublin
such as a newspaper office, a brothel, a funeral, and public houses.
It is an immense achievement of innovation or a confusing mess depending on one’s opinion,
but regardless it is an extraordinary reading experience.
The story starts here in Dun Laoghaire - Sandycove in this Martello Tower,
where Joyce lived.
